Question

Am I pregnant??? I couldnt be more confused....

Okay soooo.... I stopped taking my BC pills on March 22. And just was at the time of "Well if i get pregnant, then i do" Well now we are "Really" Trying. So i stopped the pill on March 22 after being on it for about 8 years. So i got my periode on April 19. it lasted for about 7 days. (FYI-while on BC I rarley EVER got periods) Then got my period on May 19th. lasted about 6 days. We have sex jus about every 3 days. Deep penetration everytime. and i stay in bed for about 30 min after each time. I was on my ovulating week from May 26-1. For the last 2 weeks i have been getting nautious spells. They come i feel really nausious for a cpl min then they go away. never threw up. Then when i got to work on monday (06/14) i did not feel good. VERY nautious. started gaggin. Had bad cramps. left work. Got home started my period. Dont know what to think.. Im so friggin confused. My period is heavy and light at the same time. Its like a bright red and dark pieces of like black stuff. HELP???

Sounds like a bad period- being on birth control for that long can really screw you up. You go from very little to no bleeding- to no extra hormones regulating things. The first month your off your BC could be lighter, but after that- anything can happen. Bad periods can mimic early pregnancy, and sometimes the bleeding can be very different from what you're used to. All through my teen years and college my periods were exactly what you described- heavy bleeding, nausea, -also vomiting and hot flashes. If you're worried- see your doctor. Give your body a few months to acclimate to being off the pill- but keep trying, use ovulation kits- and have fun.

If you are pregnant you are at about 4 weeks. You should get a positive test by today. Due to the mention of an early period (what seems to be) if it's light red to dark red brownish it might be that you might be pregnant and it's old blood. Keep an eye on how many days it lasts. It's somewhat early for a positive test though, you might get lucky if you are indeed pregnant. I would make an appointment with the doctor just to be checked and make sure there is or isn't a visitor yet. good luck.
